Roasted Tomato Hummus
 
 
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup grape tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 15 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained (see notes)
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  3. Combine the chickpeas, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, tahini, lemon juice and salt in a food processor. Process until smooth. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, for a thinner consistency, if desired.
  4. Add tomatoes, reserving a few for garnish, and smoked paprika and process until smooth.
  5. Scoop hummus into a bowl. Top with reserved tomatoes. Serve with fresh vegetables or pita chips.
Notes
For a smoother hummus, remove the chickpeas skins. It doesn't take long and is worth the effort, in my opinion.
